Resource collection

For a timely answer to the question of sustainability, or how to provide for future generations, there
needs to be shared accounting of our social and physical resources. Supply chain transparency makes it
possible to map resource flows and ensure dependable production while avoiding social and environmental
problems. Open channels of communications can support a collective effort to account for the
impacts of supply chains and engage more people in the invention of long-term solutions, or sustainable
design....

A bad idea has to start somewhere. It's that old business maxim: You can's make a defective omelet without designing a really inefficient, expensive and dangerous way of breaking some eggs. Welcome to R& D.

The Wind Energy Handbook draws on the authors' collective industrial and academic experience to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of wind energy research and provide a comprehensive treatment of wind energy for electricity generation.

This collection of articles on the business cycle, money,
and exchange rates by Ludwig von Mises appeared
between 1919 and1946. Here we have the evidence that
the master economist foresaw and warned against the breakdown
of the German mark, as well as the market crash of 1929
and the depression that followed.

Recent advances in data collection and data storage techniques enable
marketing researchers to study the characteristics of a large range of
transactions and purchases, in particular the effects of household-specific
characteristics and marketing-mix variables.
This book presents the most important and practically relevant quantitative
models for marketing research. Each model is presented in detail
with a self-contained discussion, which includes: a demonstration of the
mechanics of the model, empirical analysis, real-world examples, and
interpretation of results and findings.

Growing numbers of governments and peoples around the world are now convinced
that if nothing is done, we will adversely and irreversibly affect the earth’s climate
to our own detriment. Yet even as global concern has risen, the prospect of an
effective collective response is not guaranteed.

This book, written in 1962-63, is a result of a special investigation
of control in large American corporations. I decided not to confine
myself to a study of the sources available at the time, but also personally
to verify the correctness of the managerial revolution theory first advanced
by A. Berle and G. Means in the early 1930s.

(USGS) is to assess the quantity and quality of the
natural resources of the Nation and to provide
information that will assist resource managers and
policymakers at Federal, State, and local levels in
making sound decisions. Assessment of water-quality
conditions and trends is an important part of this
overall mission.
One of the greatest challenges faced by waterresources
scientists is acquiring reliable information
that will guide the use and protection of the Nation’s
water resources.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are the main pollinating agents for numerous
plants and fruit trees and, hence, play a key role in agriculture and
more generally in the maintenance of ecological biodiversity. Although
these social insects are not the targets of all the different agrochemical
treatments used in crop protection, they are widely affected by pesticides.

Our book is the collective effort of six economists with a great deal of help
from their colleagues, teachers, families, and friends and, of course, the
publisher (we especially thank Elizabeth Wald at Blackwell). As originally
conceived, the book was to have only two authors (Quentin and Rob), but as
the scope of the text expanded so did the need to bring in additional expert-
ise for the chapters on non-market valuation (Vic), water (Steven), trade and
biodiversity (Diane), and forestry and the global commons (Harry).

And now I would appeal with confidence to men of all
schools, who prefer truth, justice, and the public good to
their own systems. Economists! Like you, I am the advocate
of LIBERTY; and if I succeed in shaking some of these premises
which sadden your generous hearts, perhaps you will
see in this an additional incentive to love and to serve our
sacred cause.

Love of study, and lack of fixed opinions—a mind free from
prejudice, a heart devoid of hate, zeal for the propagation
of truth—ardent sympathies, disinterestedness, devotion,
candor—enthusiasm for all that is good and fair, simple and great,
honest and religious—such are the precious attributes of youth. It
is for this reason that I dedicate my work to you. And the seed
must have in it no kernel of life if it fail to take root in a soil so
generous.

The United States is viewed by the world as a country with plenty of
food, yet not all households in America are food secure, meaning
access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. A proportion
of the population experiences food insecurity at some time in a
given year because of food deprivation and lack of access to food due to
economic resource constraints. Still, food insecurity in the United States is
not of the same intensity as in some developing countries.
